Tacos to Go

Kids love feeling like they are an important part of day to day life, and that includes their lunch!

Now they can enjoy one of their favorite dinner meals at lunch and have fun too! Have your child pick out what “toppings” they want on their taco – in addition to the above, cucumbers, corn kernels, bell peppers and avocados all work well. Serve with a carton of NESTLÉ® JUICY JUICE® 100% JUICE.

This recipe can also be prepared using left over chicken from the Slow Cooker Arroz con Pollo. Simply shred the leftover chicken with two forks and use instead of the ground turkey.

These Pinwheel Sandwiches are super simple and fun to make. Get your kids involved in the stacking and rolling. Serve with carrot sticks and your kid's favorite salad dressing, and treat them with some Fun Size WONKA® NERDS®.

Surprise them with chocolate milk - a delicious drink that delivers on their calcium needs. Simply place a frozen ice pack in the lunch box to keep the ready to drink NESQUIK® cool.
